Victor can't leave home - help build a ramp

Victor uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Victor has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Victor can only go outside when two neighbors are available to lift the chair. The materials (treated timber, screws and non-slip surface) have been donated by a local lumberyard. We need a carpenter or two to measure, cut and build, plus a helper or two. The ramp has to meet the accessibility guideline for gradient, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Victor's family will cook lunch for the team. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

            reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Lahore
